Chapter 9 Lively 9 and 3/4 stops
To Muggles, the oldest pubs in London are the White Hart Bar on Drury Lane, the Angel's Bar on Burmond Sevor Road, or the Lamb's Flag Bar on Rose Street.
But for wizards, the Leaky Cauldron is the oldest pub in London, as it was built much earlier than the previous three Muggle pubs.
But this bar has other functions.
Every time Hogwarts is the first day of school on September 1st, the pub is packed.
This is all because most of the wizards in England like to toss, or to be conservative.
Obviously, there is a convenient Floo network.
But in the 9 and 3/4 platforms, there is no link.
If you don't have a mine at home, you have your own house near King's Cross Station, or in the surrounding Muggle community.
The average little wizard from a wizarding family doesn't take the knight bus and doesn't have a car at home.
The oldest bar in Charing Cross can only be reached via Floo Network.
Then take a bus or train to King's Cross Station.
Go straight through the railing separating platforms 9 and 10 to the platform where the train stops for Hogwarts.
Bagir is a victim of this custom.
As soon as it was dawn, he got up.
Pushing the cart, he took Fanta the Snow Owl and walked into the fire sprinkled with Floo powder.
Of course, for security, the key to his home is still in the entrance and exit room.
He walked out of the cave gate and walked a mile to the bottom of the redwood tree.
Carrying the suitcase, he climbed a long staircase that the redwood tree had lowered.
Came to the fireplace in the tree house.
So, when Tom, the owner of the bar, wiped his glass and chatted with a little man in a top hat.
Suddenly, he saw the flame of the fireplace turn green and burst forth.
Out of it was a blonde boy with a drooping face and blank eyes.
He recognized the young man's origin at a glance.
Before his grandmother died, little Bagill often came to play in Diagon Alley.
This sunny boy who has always been smiling and cheerful has become like this.
He wiped his tears with a dirty rag.
Quickly came out from behind the bar, ran towards Bagil, and grabbed his hand.
"Kid, are you alright? It's time to go to the station today! I'll take you! ”
Bagill looked confused, and before he could refuse.
The old man, whose hair had almost fallen out and looked like a deflated walnut, turned his head and said to the little man:
"Diego! Look at the shop first, I'm going to send this kid to the station! ”
......
Ten minutes later, it has reached the platform 9 and 3/4, and the hands are full of snacks,
Bagil, who had 7 extra Galleons in his pocket, was still confused.
Old Tom gave too much for him to refuse.
He had his route planned – getting on at Paddington station and getting off at King's Cross.
By the way, squatting at King's Cross Station to guard Harry and become Harry's first friend!
While earning gems, see how you can get [Harry Echoes] through dating.
But...
"But I'm not short of money?"
Galleon's purchasing power is very strong.
These 7 gold gallons, if he only buys daily necessities such as grain, oil, rice and noodles, it is enough for him to spend a year.
"That's not right! Gilderoy Lockhart. ”
"And this old man!" His eyes narrowed, and his words were full of murder.
Lockhart's books are expensive, and I have to buy seven copies at once!
If it really follows the plot.
Bagirburn's not wealthy family will make matters worse!
In his mind, a new line of text was added to the list of things to do for the school year.
[Let Lockhart's identity as a liar be known! ] 】
After all, he doesn't need to maintain the plot.
The more the world line is deflected, the more gems he gets!
"Speaking of gemstones... The more people I know now, will I get more gems? ”
"And... Does this count as dating? ”
He looked at the time, it was only 10 o'clock.
It's still an hour by car.
.......
"Walk by, don't miss it!"
"Are you tossing and turning because you have entered a strange magical world?"
"Are you restless because you left your parents?"
"Are you worried that you won't be able to pass the entrance test and go home?"
......
Harry only felt that the blonde boy in the crowd was particularly kind.
Every sentence seemed to be spoken into his heart.
Moreover, he was able to come to the station so smoothly, maybe it was because of this teenager.
The time goes back to 10 minutes ago.
10.30am, London, King's Cross Station.
Because the Dursleys were in a hurry to go to the hospital, they cut off Dudley's pig tail.
After a brief taunt, he threw Harry halfway between platforms 9 and 10.
He was about to try to ask the guards.
At this moment, a group of people passed behind him,
Occasionally a sentence or two drifted into his ears.
"It's a pity that George and... No, platform 9 and 3/4... It's lively right now... Extraordinary... A relative of Finn Granger, the president of the association..."
Harry quickly turned around and saw that it was a black boy with dreadlocks, talking to four boys.
They were all pushing boxes too.
One after the other passed through the railing and disappeared before his eyes.
So he also learned from the boys to crash into the railing...
Then he came to the 9 and three-quarters platform that was written on the ticket.
I saw a group of people surrounding the blonde boy in the middle, as if I had seen a savior.
The boy had an inexplicable deterrent, but very kind.
As a result, several senior students who wanted to rush over to interrupt subconsciously stopped.
"My friends, don't worry about any of this!"
"Because I'm coming!"
"I'm here, and it's sunny at Hogwarts!"
"Extracurricular book recommendations for school years 1 to 7!"
In the crowd, a girl with thick brown hair and a pair of front teeth walked out.
"I want it, how much does it cost."
The blonde boy pulled out a piece of parchment.
"A silver coco, my friend!"
The blonde teenager continued.
"Map of the Relationship between Powerful Figures in the Ministry of Magic."
Behind Harry, a voice rang out.
"I want it!"
He jerked his head and saw that it was a tall, thin boy with red hair.
The boy stepped away from his family and strode towards the blonde boy.
"I hope you don't play any tricks, I'm an overseer!"
The blonde boy nodded, pulling out another piece of parchment.
"Of course, my friend, Tong Su is not a bully! 2 silver sirco! ”
........
Harry watched in amazement.
In particular, there was notice that the boy's pockets were gradually becoming bulging.
His internal organs began to twitch inexplicably.
Are the little wizards of the wizarding world so powerful?
Was he allowed to go to Hogwarts too hastily?
Do you want to come back to the previous year's preschool first?
Harry was cranky.
It wasn't until a voice rang in his ear that he came to his senses.
"It's enviable, isn't it! I can't think of this trick! ”
Harry turned his head, and it was a tall, thin boy with red hair, freckled face, big hands, big feet, and a long nose.
If memory serves, he should be the family of the boy who claimed to be the overseer.
The boy looked straight into the blonde boy's pocket, full of longing.
"I can't believe anyone could take money out of Percy."
"yes." Harry nodded.
A smile unconsciously hung on the corner of his mouth.
Having met a new friend is undoubtedly a good start.
The unknown wizarding world, Hogwarts, would be fine.
